A bomb disposal team has been helping police search a house in Kirk Hallam.

Officers were spotted outside a property, in Godfrey Drive. Police said a 44-year-old man has been arrested.

A Derbyshire police spokeswoman said: "There is nothing to suggest the safety of the local community is at risk, or that this is a terrorist-related incident.

"Godfrey Drive has not been closed and no-one has been evacuated."

A picture taken by a resident showed several police cars in the street as well as a van marked "bomb disposal".

'The neighbourhood is usually a very nice place'

Zak Meakin, 22, who works at KPP Converters, lives down the road. He said: “I’ve been off work sick and have just seen it. There hasn’t been anything like this before around here so I’m really surprised.

“There’s usually only gangs of 14 or 15-year-olds pulling pranks, like throwing eggs, around here - nothing serious. The neighbourhood is usually a very nice place. It tends to be just elderly people and young families here.”

Man who lives near the scene says he believes a family may live in the house

A man, 33, who lives in the area but did not want to be named, said: “I didn’t see anything till this morning, but then the police and bomb disposal came.

“The police arrived at about 9.15am and the bomb disposal men came at around 11am.

“I was really concerned because I have two kids that could be in danger. We weren’t informed about any potential danger or anything, which I think we should have really.

“We just saw bomb disposal members there, no evacuation message or anything. What if there was an actual bomb there? My first priority is making sure my kids are safe.”
